The Case Stated.
Col. CoUiilo, in tho )nnt issru
the Mqmbliean says "If 'they (tho! Counjjl A. i'e, sir.
rebels) are beaten at Chicago and see a
that the great mass of the people are
tinitod fop the suppression of iho ro
bollion, it seems to ITS thoy must con
clude their causo to be hopeless."—•
Tho case could not have been tno'O
clearly stated. It is this: the peace
men are agents of the rebels when
they are beaten the rebels !ire bo:Uen.
If thoy are baaten at Chicago, the
rebols cause is hopeless.
